    I'm our hunt for the best brunch spots on our travels our searches quickly pointed to The Friendly Toast and we were not disappointed! Upon arrival at the Danvers location, which is one of almost a dozen locations spanning the Northeast. Upon arrival it was clear the space was a new life on another national chain whose location had shuttered but they had taken to the next level with a spacious patio and exciting 50s diner-esque interior. We started off with their new seasonal Endless Summer Mimosa Flight, ranging from raspberry and mango flavor to a more tradition tequila sunrise vibe I ordered the Breakfast Burrito with Crumbled Chorizo & Waffle Fries (which I asked for a side of mayo to mix up my own fry sauce and was charged $1.00?) and the flavor from the roasted corn to the hash browns and egg to the added touch of the toasted tortilla in both sides was phenomenal, especially with a touch of Choulola My wife ordered the Cubano Benny and upgraded to Fruit Salad as her side, and the egg gave a nice oozing touch to the flavorful pork sitting astop a hashbrown versus your traditional English muffin, making it more crisp and delectable. The portion sizes were just right enough to have a self half for a mid afternoon snack as we continued our adventures. A very special thank you to Kaitlyn for friendly service highly recommended and definitely will not be our last visit!!

    Classic Breakfast - Gluten Free toast

    I was told that The Friendly Toast is really good for people with allergies, so I decided to give it a try. I have celiac, so I told the host as soon as I entered, and he opened the menu to show me the gluten-free labels that are on the menu. He also said that most of the menu can be prepared, gluten-free, that I shouldn't have anything in the fryer and that they take the allergies very seriously. I sat at the bar and the server reiterated the allergy protocol, so I felt super safe. I also saw the host/manager go back to the kitchen and mention the word celiac, so they really are doing a great job. Food was good - the sausage patties were GREAT! GF toast was hard as a rock but the pancake was bomb!

    Cute menus

    We arrived at a really busy time but we were almost immediately acknowledged and seated. Every staff member we came in contact with was extremely down to earth and nice! They have an extensive breakfast/lunch menu. There were many things I'll be back to try! Our chicken sandwich may have been the best I've ever had. The perfect amount of hot honey over a Rice Krispie breading! Topped with pickled onion/pickle slaw, and an everything bagel aioli!? The flavors were out of this world! The fries were hot and salty, and only the best grillo's pickle to pair with it. My last tidbit is the environment is so unique! It's got the perfect blend of retro diner, and modern-hip vibes!

    Everything was fresh and delicious! The waitress and staff were very friendly. The ambiance and decor is amazing! I will definitely be back!

    Chicken cordon bleu Benny
    Marni M.

    After very much debate, my friends and I decided on coming here for brunch. I called ahead to see if they take reservations, but the host told me they do through the Yelp waitlist. Timing the reservation wasn't too bad as you get live updates by the minute. You can also see how far into the line you are, in case, you decide to go somewhere else, and can easily cancel. There is plenty of parking as they had their own lot surrounding the building. For drinks we ordered their Classic Bloody Mary's, Pickled Bloody Mary, apple juice, Red Eye Irish Coffee, and Dreamsicle. We were all very happy with our choices. As someone who has only had one very disappointing Bloody Mary before, I was pleasantly surprised by theirs. We shared the stuffed tots as an appetizer which came out in under 5 minutes. The crispy outside was perfect for grasping the creamy mayo it was served on top of. For entrees we got their Benny, burritos, classic breakfast, and Chicken cordon bleu Benny. All the entrees came out in a timely manner and well presented. I loved the cordon blue Benny as it was filling and delicious. But the home fries were slightly burnt and a bit mushy. As a dessert, we shared the king cakes which were banana pancakes with slices of bacon and a drizzle of peanut butter syrup. They weren't as fluffy as I prefer but the toppings were sweet and salty. Overall, I had a phenomenal experience. Our waitress Fiona was incredibly attentive especially given how busy they were on a Saturday morning. I would highly recommend others to check them out too!

    Donut stop believing sandwich
    Grace V.

    My boyfriend and I came here last weekend. We had been before and this was my second time coming. I got the donut stop believing sandwich and it was amazing! Scrambled eggs and sausage with a gooey plain donut as the bread? I never thought to use a donut as the bread for a breakfast sandwich but it really works! I will definitely be back.

    Food is great and so is the service. The ambiance is a little loud but not too loud, perfect for a date or friends brunch day.

    Overpriced and overrated. Quality was poor, cost was outrageous... you're paying for hype and that's all.

    Is there outdoor seating?

    I went this this past weekend. There's no outdoor seating right now. Looks like possibly in the future they will...since there is an empty patio where tables could go.

    What a nice local spot! We went on a Monday, which is music bingo night and burgers starting at $5…read more My partner and I decided not to participate in music bingo, but we still had fun trying to guess the songs before the names popped up. The music bingo did definitely make it noisy in the restaurant - we didn't really mind but just something to be aware of. The vibe of the Endicott Grille is very much a local, neighborhood, bar where regulars and groups of friends have hung out for years. My partner and I are in our early 20s and we were by far the youngest people there. Service took a little while, they do seem to be a little understaffed or maybe it was just busy that night, but our waitress was very sweet and made sure we were taken care of. I ordered the classic burger and substituted the fries for sweet potato fries (regular fries are included in the special, my substitution added $1 to the order, and I felt it was very worth it). The burger was very large and I felt that it was an excellent deal for only $6. My partner got a different burger and kept the regular fries, which were seasoned nicely, although I did prefer the sweet potato ones. Overall we had a very nice experience and I would definitely return to enjoy their burger special again!

    This place was great! I was told about their $5 burger night and figured I'd give it a try after…read morework. The place was pretty tame but still had a good vibe for a bar and grille. The bartender was kind and made sure I was all set. Very personable staff as well; there were a lot of locals, and he just knew them all by name. The burger itself was pretty good (a little greasy), and the fact that it came with fries for $5 makes it a fantastic deal! Also, Monday nights are music bingo, so I stayed for a little bit to play a card. It's a dollar to play a card, and there are three rounds where you can win a gift card in each round. Each round also has a different theme, and the price for the card went up with each round (as did the cash prize). I thought this place was great, and I had fun going solo! Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to go out on a Monday but keep it low-key at the same time.
